SEEKING LOVE FOR SURVIVAL
Everything is lost
Everything is wracked
One, though once a host
Now search for a fist of food
Seeking love for survival.
Grew midst every luxury
All of a sudden lost everyone
Swept away by nature’s fury
Now at our mercy, an orphan
Seeking love for survival.
Entire family wiped away
Excepting an age-old father
Destiny signs its wicked ways
Though alive, isolation matters
Seeking love for survival.
Ignored by the pitiless society
Rejected by their own dear ones
Dumped in solitude without mercy
The deaf-blind community moans
Seeking love for survival.
The loved one who had faith
Got snatched to heavens afar
Many at the gateway of death
None nearby now to take care
Yes, seeking love for survival.

SALUTATIONS
For a noble cause
For an universal cause
Lo warriors! You stake lives
On hearing humanitarian cries.
Your dedication to guide
And safeguarding universal pride
Balm our fear-filled souls wounded
While the enemy flees humiliated.
Holding aloft the flag triumphant
The life’s atom is risked to the last
With pain intolerable more than death
You display still the spirit of faith.
The faithful of all, mother earth
Salutes by awarding the honor of faith
Eyes thirsty, mist and tear-filled
For you, sacrifice seems unfulfilled.

SURGING THOUGHTS
Some lyrical thoughts
Fill my heart of hearts
But the emerging poem
Though sad is indeed a gem
Thus are the surging thoughts.
Some budding thoughts
Strike like a thunderbolt
Instead of showering flowers
They seek to unite true lovers
Thus are the surging thoughts.
Some heart-rending thoughts
Pierce from out of joy’s thirst
They provoke to provide succor
To the starving poor
Thus are the surging thoughts.
Some stirring thoughts
Drown the mood of angst
Instead of nasty apprehensions
They prompt making wise decisions
Thus are the surging thoughts.
Some pious thoughts
Sneak to douse the flames of lust
The devotional instinct
Is set for life’s enlightenment
Thus are the surging thoughts.
